Lunch at School
Students will bring lunch from home. Something that does not require heating up or refrigeration. No peanut products, please. Only water to drink, as we will be eating at our desks and want to protect the church carpet. Refillable water bottles are recommended.
Classroom Treats
Please contact the school to schedule a time to bring treats to the classroom. All treats (birthday, etc) must be commercially prepared and individually packaged. Homemade treats are not allowed due to County Health Department regulations.
Recess
Please dress appropriately for the weather. All students have multiple times a day when they are outside. If you do not want your child outside due to an illness, please contact the director or co-director.
The following expectations should be adhered to for a safe school environment.
- No hard balls or bats are allowed
- No tackle games of any kind
- No snowballs – snow stays on the ground
- No toys or equipment from home
- No playing in the parking lots
- No swearing or fighting
- No wheelie shoes
All toys or other items need to stay at home. If brought to school, they will be confiscated and returned to the parent. It is not the responsibility of the school and or staff to ensure personal items are safe and cared for. Please keep any valuables at home.
Cell Phones (Student Electronic Devices)
Cell phones are not permitted in the classroom. If parents wish for students to bring a cell phone to school, the cell phone (or other electronic device) must remain secured in the child’s back pack or in the teacher’s “cell phone keeper” until pick up time. Parents sending cell phones to school release the school of all responsibility in the event of damage or loss.
